Campaign conference calls and the MSM that has lost its way
I find the MSM coverage of these campaign conference calls absolutely abysmal. All they do is report what the crazy people from the campaign say, and never question whether it is actually true. Typically the more untrue a statement is, the more coverage it gets throughout the day. But of course they never mention that the statement is false (aka "a lie"). I'm sure many people who are not paying close attention actually think that the MSM is reporting these statement as fact. Of course maybe that is what they want.
I think that the MSM should be considerate enough to have their own conference calls so that actual journalists can drill them on how pitiful a job they are down informing the public. That is still their function right, informing?
